I was a little disappointed when I first received the rack because the box was all tore up and some of the bags of hardware was opened. With that being said I am so glad I didn’t return it. I was able to convert my cheap Carry On trailer into a duel purpose trailer. Like other reviewers said I did need to slightly modify how I installed the rack. Instead of using the plates and self tapping screws for the bottom I drilled two holes at each post in the side of my trailer. Then I used the provided U Bolts to hold it secure. It’s super sturdy.(picture attached). The only other thing I’ll probably do is paint the rack black to match the trailer. I had this rack on the highway with no issues. Great buy! Review: Overall, just an ingenius product - I don't have a luggage rack on my Durango R/T so my choices for canoe racks are very limited. My other problem was lack of equipment storage with 6 passengers. I looked everywhere for a 'canoe trailer' or 'kayak trailer', but they were very expensive and had limited space for equipment storage. I stumbled onto the Malone Top Tier system by accident. Like another reviewer stated, it is not well advertised. I decided to make the leap and buy a little 4' x 8' utility trailer from a local supplier and ordered the Top Tier online. To my astonishment, it arrived in 2 days. Instructions were clear and concise and included photos (instead of today's ridiculous renderings which never help). I measured everything up and installed the support posts as close to the front and rear as possible in order to maximize the 'span' between the mounting rails. It didn't take too long, especially because I decided to buy a carbide bit to drill the holes in the trailer (highly recommended). I tested the setup before the trip and found 2 minor design flaws that were easily correctible with a little ingenuity: 1. The width of the rails are barely long enough for 2 canoes, even with my maximum span of 7.5'. Any less than that and the canoes would not have fit due to the width of the center cross-section where they came in contact with each other. Plus there are no hooks on the rails so the canoes tended to slide off the end, due to the proximity - about 1.25" from the end - even after hitting minor bumps in the road. I purchased four 1/4" x 2" eyehooks, drilled holes about 3/4" from the end of the rails and inserted them. Not only did it keep the canoes from sliding off, it also offered an additional option for strapping them down. 2. The 'clamps' that attach the top rails to the support posts will slip if using ratchet straps to secure the cargo. In this case, when I tightened down the canoes during the test run, the clamps slipped somewhat and allowed the straps to eventually loosen. Not good. Solution: Drill horizontally through the clamp and rail, run a 3/16" x 2" bolt and attach with a nylon stop nut. This will keep the clamps from sliding and the ratchet straps from loosening. Problem solved. The rack performed flawlessly on a trip to northern Ontario, Canada. 600 miles each way, plus an 18-mile expedition on a very rough logging road. Did not experience one problem with the rack. This rack enabled me to carry 3 canoes (with some modification to the tailgate) and over 300 pounds of gear in a little trailer. The rig was the envy of countless onlookers at rest areas, gas stations and the border crossing. Several Canadians (who are well known for their watercraft and cargo hauling) marveled at the idea. I can haul a 4-wheeler or Waverunner plus various cargo and equipment (under the rails) while carrying canoes, kayaks or paddleboards. All while enjoying plenty of elbow room inside the cab of my SUV. If Malone makes these minor modifications, they will sell thousands of these. I have actually agreed to build 3 more of these rigs for friends and family members. One more tip, buy an 18" hitch extender to provide more space between the vehicle and trailer. This will limit the canoe or kayak hangover on the rear and will draw less attention from law enforcement. Not necessary with kayaks less than 12'. ## Features - Galvanized steel construction, 250 lb load capacity, 53" uprights and 65" cross bars - Compatible with most utility trailers with raised side rails - U-bolts included, Five-year warranty, and Made in the USA - These are the parts needed to add a second level to the Utility Trailer - Utility Trailer not included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007906BCA | | Best Sellers Rank | #773,480 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #12,357 in Powersports Accessories | | Brand | Malone | | Brand Name | Malone | | Color | silver | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 140 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00859557001899 | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 12 x 4 x 81 inches | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 12 x 4 x 81 inches | | Load Capacity | 250 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Malone Auto Racks | | Manufacturer Part Number | MPG493 | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | MPG493 | | UPC | 859557001899 | | Vehicle Service Type | Trailer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Malone - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12 x 4 x 81 inches - **Load Capacity:** 250 Pounds - **Mounting Type:** Hitch - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00859557001899 - **Manufacturer:** Malone Auto Racks - **UPC:** 859557001899 ## Images ![Malone Auto Racks Top Tier Utility Trailer Cross Bar System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KTVtFOlOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy! *by B***I on May 30, 2020* This is a great kit!

These racks have worked out perfectly. Along with the Malone Sea Kayak racks mounted on the bars it's just what I was looking for. I would highly recommend this product. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malone Auto Racks Top Tier Utility Trailer Cross Bar System - Malone MegaWing Reinforced V-Style Carriers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1681404-malone-auto-racks-top-tier-utility-trailer-cross-bar-system](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1681404-malone-auto-racks-top-tier-utility-trailer-cross-bar-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
